Color: Ruby

“Stormin’ Norman”, a rhyming nickname frequently used for anyone named Norman who is also seen as a dynamic or forceful personality. Are you ready to add a “fiery redhead” to your life? Meet Norman, a 2-year-old, male, Ruby Cavalier weighing 24 lbs. He was born on October 1^st, 2023.

Norman loves everything about life and will follow you anywhere. He’s a counter surfing, toilet drinking, bundle of energy. Yes, he is tall enough to reach a lot of areas you wouldn’t think a Cavalier could. He lives up to his nickname and will need a family that has the time and energy to keep up with him. 

Toys are a favorite of his and the more he has, the better. Don’t count on him being tidy with them. They are best spread throughout the house. Norman does enjoy a good game of fetch and will deposit the chosen ball or toy on you, your keyboard, or on the table next to you. Wherever he feels it will most likely get your attention. Norman is very smart and enjoys interactive toys. He also loves to chew and will need a supply of safe things to chew on. Going for walks is right up there with toys. If you happen to pass by his leash and harness, he will grab them and look expectantly at you with those big brown eyes asking if it’s time to go. If you reach for them, he can hardly contain himself he gets so excited.

Norman would love a home where someone is either home with him most of the time or where he gets to go with you on your outings. He prefers not to be left behind. He travels well in the car and enjoys meeting new people. No shyness in this pup. Long walks or hikes would be a plus. Norman walks well on a leash and knows a couple of basic commands. He would benefit from an obedience class or two and would probably do very well in agility. He is fast, watch those open doors. He can jump, clears the back of the couch when he gets the zoomies and, he somewhat understands the concept of table, albeit he’s using the coffee or side tables in the family room. The world is his jungle gym.

Norman does sleep in a crate at night, or when he has to be left alone. Due to his insatiable curiosity, his foster family has found it best not to leave him unattended in the house. While he readily goes into his crate at night, he will put up a fuss if put in the crate during the day. This usually only lasts for a few minutes. 

Norman is pretty good about doing his business outside. In his previous home this was all done while on a leash. At his foster home he has a backyard to go out into and has even started giving signals that he needs to go out. He does wear a belly band while in the house due to marking. The marking has been drastically reduced since his neuter and should only continue to get better with oversight and frequent outings.  

While in foster care, Norman is recently neutered, microchipped, and had his vaccinations updated. No murmur was detected on auscultation at his vet exam. He did come into rescue with very dry skin and was quite itchy. Switching up his diet and adding supplements is helping but will take some time.

Rubie is a female ruby, born on January 1, 2017. She is in very good health. The Rescue has completed all the medical tests, vaccines, dental and physical exam. All Rescue dogs are micro chipped. She is ready to go to her fur-ever home.

Rubie had a very tragic journey to Rescue. She came into Rescue with two pack mates. Her owner was an older woman who died on a Thursday. Rubie and her two other pack mates stayed beside their owner until they were found on the following Monday. Rubie and her pack mates were traumatized and dehydrated. It has taken some very special foster love to get her to where she is today.

Rubie is super chill most of the time. She is not polite when it comes to meal time, however. She will jump up on you to be fed first. She will follow a command to get down or sit, but she is very definitely a foodie. She will eat until she pops if given the opportunity. That incudes toilet paper, so keep the bathroom doors closed!

Rubie will seek out quiet places to take her naps. She can sleep so deeply that she won’t know you are near. Rubie is not a cuddler at first. She may appear to be a bit standoffish, but has a charm all her own. She loves to play with toys and other dogs. Rubie is good with housetraining as long as you let her out when she wakes in the morning and after she eats. Rubie enjoys her walks. She will bark when you first go out, then will calm down right away. She likes to go on car rides too! Rubie is a flight risk. She will need to be in a very secure setting so she does not go exploring. Rubie appears to prefer women. She is very drawn to them. She gives hugs and kisses.

If you feel that you are a good match for Rubie, please complete the online adoption application at CavalierResscueUSA.net, and contact the Nevada coordinators: Judy and Rich Fitzpatrick at: rjfitz@sbcgobal.net, or (702) 675-6452. Please note: Nevada does not get many Rescues, so first choice will go to residents of Nevada. If no candidate is found in Nevada, we will consider applicants outside the state.

You are very special heroes to us for choosing to make one of our adorable pups a family member. Thank you.
